Dutch designer Piet Boon has created a range of ultra high end wallpapers that takes one of the lowliest materials of the modern city, concrete, and transforms it into beautiful and playful decorative element.

The idea is not to cover a room in concrete, but to faithfully reproduce the look of concrete retaining walls, complete with the inescapable grit of city life.
